I'm asking due to curiosity. I take my vitamine but I dont always eat healthy, is this okay? I mean my baby is still getting everything she needs from the prenatals, no?
 
Are you allowed to have days when you eat fast food and pig out on ice cream? Yeah you are allowed to...just as long as it's not every day.
Everything in moderation....
 
You continue to eat crap you'll put on a lot of weight and could end up with a larger baby both of which could lead to a harder birth experience not to mention the possibility for other problems
 
yes, the baby develops tastes from what it sucks in in the womb. Yes - they swallow fluid.

So try too, but I understand if the daily cravings for captain crunchberry takeover.
 
Unhealthy like what? Candy bars, and ramen noodles every day? No, that's not good for you or your baby. Giving in to cravings every once in a while is perfectly fine though.

Being healthy isn't just about getting the proper vitamins though. Did you know your body only absorbs about 10% of a multivitamin? The rest of it gets digested before it can be stored in the body. So you pretty much just pee out 90% of the vitamin. You should avoid excessive salt & sugar as well as ALL transfats & most saturated fats.
